WINDBREAKS 
Pulverize the soil thoroughly, plow trenches 
for the rows, and set trees in zig-zag forma¬ 
tion. Continue cultivation thruout the summer. 
Important Information to Drought Areas:— 
Keep low and spreading by removing central 
leaders when trees are young. Low spreading 
trees do not require as much moisture as tall 
ones. Tall headed trees during a drought 
period are more apt to dry out in the tops, 
as it requires more moisture to force sap up 
to the foliage.
